The current betting odds have Utah listed as a 30 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Utah had a very good season this year but it just wasn't enough to get themselves back to the PAC-12 Championship and defend their title from last year. They don't have much to play for here since they are already going to a bowl game this season, but this Colorado team has been so bad all year and has been getting blown out in a majority of their games this season. They just took a really bad loss on the road last week losing 54-7 against Washington, and even though they are at home here it will not do them any good as they have won just 1 of their 5 games there this year and just 1 of their 11 games this season overall. They don't put up a lot of points in their games with their offense and they give up a ton of points on defense as they struggle to stop even bad teams. Utah is one of the best teams in the PAC-12 this year and even though they do not have the need to blowout Colorado here, Colorado has been so bad all year that they will struggle to even put points up while Utah just keeps adding to the scoreboard. The best way to place a bet here is on Utah to cover the spread in this game.

“The legacy that I hope I’m leaving and that our staff is leaving, is that we’re genuine, we’re real. We’re in it for them (the players), not us. We did everything we could to push this program in the right direction.” - Mike Sanford on his team’s upcoming game against Utah this week.
